I asked the lady spewing most of the hate, “Excuse me, ma’am, why do you consider me a pile of garbage?” That query led to a concurrent diatribe of even more fiery and threatening, almost incoherent, rhetoric from the trio as they steadily backed me into a corner of the hotel corridor.

The screaming lady then punched the glass of wine I was holding, knocking it into my forehead and raining an abundance of Merlot all over me. Barbara Coe stood in the background laughing at the assault.

Stay classy, Orange County.
